Fourth trip happening in March. Have not been there since 2010 but I do notice significant new developments with beach chair rentals as I browse https://www.insandoutsbarbados.com/.

Beside Accra Hotel there is a cluster of refreshment huts and I know that via Patricia we rented chairs.

Don't miss the Mac n Cheese at a Chefette!

The last time we went I actually checked a couple of beach umbrellas and left them behind in our VRBO for the next visitor. We like to take our umbrellas, cooler & blanket and explore. Bottom Bay, Foul Bay, Crane (turn left away from the resort beach), Cattlewash near Bathsheba will all give you unique beach experiences.
From what I have seen online many of these formerly deserted beaches now have some facilities.

You’re going to love San Juan in February, the weather’s perfect and there’s always something happening. I’ve stayed at Acacia Boutique before! Super charming vibe, definitely has that intimate feel, and it's just steps from the beach. The rooms are on the smaller side, but the location makes up for it. You’re also walking distance to some great bars and restaurants around Condado and Ocean Park.

If you're open to other options, check out The Dreamcatcher, it’s also in Ocean Park and leans a little more boho-chic, with great breakfast and a really peaceful vibe.

And since you're clearly into food (respect), San Juan is one of my picks for the best caribbean island for foodies. From street food to fine dining, the local scene is so underrated.

Hope you and your wife have an amazing trip, sounds like the perfect escape!

Thanks Rick. Yes, a long way and a beautiful place for a walk. Just take some water along.

Seahawks defense was amazing.

I haven't used TooSim, have used Airalo but agree they've now become expensive. My next door neighbour depart on a cruise to Europe and Morocco on Monday and I've suggested he tries this... https://esim.sm/en/travel-to/europe . I'll let you know in about 2 weeks how he got on.

Thank you for the good information. Wife said next winter is likely. I will work on trying to get an RV spot lined up. Likely just for a week at this point. Once there for a week, I see an easy go for longer.

I spent a few days in both cities a while back. In Prague the small cafes along the river made great coffee stops. In Bucharest the food was surprisingly good and not touristy at all. Both cities feel very walkable.

I see it now in original post.

Where ever you are staying, they will have Mofongo. We like Luquilo too, Fajardo, and Pura Vida at Palmas del Mar.

Cheers, RickG

Well that brought back memories of some great trips to KW going back half a century. I used to love Alonzo's half-price happy hour and their superb margaritas.
Not sure we could ever do one and done in the afternoon though ...
